Angela Bailey rose to lofty heights in the track and field world — and she's the first one to tell you, she did it her way. The drug free ways. “I have always believed in competing clean and doing it by the books,” she says. ”I don't believe in drugs.”At the zenith of an impressive competitive career that took the Mississauga sprinter to the four corners of the world, Bailey clocked some spectacular times. How much faster could she have ran if aided by drugs? “Never entered my mind, I always relied on my natural abilities,” she comments. In 1993, the Glenforest Secondary School alumnus was inducted into the Mississauga Sports Hall Of Fame and it didn’t surprise anyone, she had earned her place. Born in Coventry, England, she moved to Canada with her family in 1974 and lived in Mississauga ever since. She showed early promise and as a high school athlete, won Ontario sprint titles and set records while at Glenforest. She broke onto the Canadian scene at the age of 15 at the Canada Games in 1977, winning silver medals in the 100- and 200-metre races and with the 4x100-metre relay team. The same year, she became Canadian junior women’s 100 metres champion. Internationally, her first big test came at the 1978 Commonwealth Games where she made the 100-metre semi-finals and helped the Canadian 4x100-metre relay squad to a silver medal. In 1981, Bailey was awarded the Elaine Tanner Trophy as Canada’s outstanding junior female athlete, a recognition that spoke volumes of her natural abilities.All in all, Bailey has three Canadian senior women's sprint titles to her credit: a clean sweep of the 100- and 200-metre events at the national championships in 1985 and the 100 metres in '90. |
She missed a chance to run in the 1980 Moscow Olympics when Canada and other western nations boycotted the event. It was an unfortunate turn of events for Bailey because that year she showed particularly good form while winning the Pan American Junior Championships’ sprint races. The following year, Bailey was triple gold medal winner at Pacific Conference Games.
Bailey finally got her chance to represent Canada at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where she won a silver medal in the 4x100 metres relay and finished a respectable sixth in the women’s 100-metre final. She also represented Canada in the world outdoor championships twice (1983 and '87) with a fifth place finish her best showing. The 1986 season saw her finish runner-up in the international indoor Grand Prix circuit in 60 yards, and fourth in 60 metres in '87. Bailey set Canadian senior records in 100 and 200 metres and an indoor record in 60 metres. Her Canadian 100 metre record came not on a home track, but in Budapest during an international track and field meet hosted by Hungary in 1987. She was clocked in 10.98 seconds, an achievement she considers near to hear heart. "That was by far the most memorable moment in my career, to set a Canadian record, " she says.
